Montgomerie accused Yusuf of failing to act as a team player and described his social media behaviour as immature. The suspension follows recent tensions within the party, including Nigel Farage's public rebuke of Yusuf for his comments regarding former defence secretary Ben Wallace. Montgomerie had previously suggested that Farage's leadership was being tested by his inability to control Yusuf's rhetoric.
